    GlossaryPremature Senescence

    early cellular aging causing permanent growth arrest

    Premature senescence refers to the early onset of cellular aging, where cells stop dividing and enter a state of permanent growth arrest earlier than expected. This can be triggered by various stress factors such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, or chronic inflammation, and is often associated with conditions like alopecia, where hair follicles may stop functioning properly, leading to hair loss.
